Extended care, both before school and after school, is included in the cost of tuition. Extended care during Christmas and Spring break are also included in the monthly tuition fee.


** There is a summer camp program available for students who attend private school at Jackie's. This camp is set up to provide as nearly as possible, an "old fashioned" summer of fun to the child that is too young to leave at home alone, but too old to enjoy the standard daycare situation. This program is designed for active children ages kinder through twelve years.


The summer program curriculum devotes two hours a day to academic review, (to keep student's academic skills sharp for fall), weekly field trips, daily swimming, sports, arts and crafts, games, and fun!
